Contracts and capital projects - Agreement for professional services with Keller and Associates for a 2,000,000‑gallon concrete water tank: motion approved subject to revision of paragraph 8 (indemnity) to language acceptable to city legal counsel and Keller. STAG grant funding of $3.75 million was discussed and a waiver for the match was noted. (Tally recorded in meeting: unanimous yes; council recorded “motion carries unanimously.”)

Reports and other actions - Report on proposed reduction of street width at 189 North Fourth West (Saddle Crossing area): council accepted the report and took no immediate action to reduce the width; staff recommended developers add pavement and curb/gutter as required if/when development occurs. (Tally recorded in meeting: yes 3.)
The meeting also included ceremonial swearing‑in of officers, presentation of a duty pistol to Sheriff Stoker and regular chamber and committee reports. For most items the meeting record did not list roll‑call votes by name; the tallies above reflect ayes/abstentions recorded on the public audio/minutes. If a precise roll‑call was required for audit, city clerks’ minutes should be consulted for official vote rosters and ordinance/resolution numbers.
